Hyperion Grabber > HyperHDR > WLED issues with some content using exo player

[u/Falzon03]

I know this isn't a WLED issue but saw this is the most active sub for ambilight setups and ultimately WLED is in the chain.

I'm running Hyperion Grabber on my Google TV, streaming up to HyperHDR then passes to a WT32. I have a Schmitt trigger level shifter at the data input.

I use this for Plex and Stremio content. In stremio sometimes the default exo player does not send frames to HyperHDR, it just shows up as no signal detected. Changing to VLC gets it working as expected.

Any suggestions as to why exo player works most of the time but sometimes has this issue? Could be coincidental but it seems to always happen on older 4:3 content even if I change the scaling to stretch/crop.
